Siver earns a quick return booking after scoring a dominant decision win over Nam Phan at this past weekend’s UFC on FOX 5 event. It was Siver’s second fight at 145 pounds after debuting in the weightclass with an April decision victory over Diego Nunes.

The German striker is now 6-1 in his past seven UFC appearances and 10-2 in 12 total bouts since opening his octagon run in a 1-3 slump.

Meanwhile, Swanson brings an impressive three-fight win streak to the cage after earning knockout victories of Charles Oliveira, Ross Pearson and George Roop. That’s the longest win streak since 2007 for the always-exciting Californian, who racked up three “Fight of the Night” wins while competing in the WEC and has pocketed “Knockout of the Night” bonuses in his past two UFC appearances.

While UFC officials did not discuss the significance of the bout in terms of rankings, the winner will certainly emerge as a top contender in the 145-pound division.

With the addition to the card, the UFC on FUEL TV 7 lineup now includes:
